An Oregon DOT employee was suspended for publishing posts on her Facebook page that were offensive to undocumented immigrants, according to Fox News.

Although Lori McAllen's Facebook page has apparently been removed along with her other social media accounts, screenshots of her posts have been widely distributed on social media, including one suggesting how to dispose of immigrants who arrive here illegally.

"I personally think they should shoot them all at the border and call it good ... it'll save us hard working AMERICAN'S billions of dollars on our taxes!! ;)" she wrote, ending her remark with a winking emoji.

McAllen has held her full-time DOT clerk position less than a year.

Her Twitter bio stated, “I don’t have room in my heart for drama, disrespect or hate.. either love your life or make a change!”

The Oregon Department of Transportation published a statement on Twitter.

An employee linked to an offensive Facebook post is on leave while we investigate. We take this matter very seriously and very personally. The comment doesn't reflect our agency values and is disturbing and hurtful. Thank you for your patience as we complete the investigation.

After the agency received more comments it followed up with this statement:

We're aware of a post that has been rapidly circulating through social channels espousing views offensive & abhorrent to the values of our agency. There is an active investigation into the matter. Thank you to those who have shared your concerns and we take this matter seriously
